Countless experts and scholars, people who stand on the moral high ground, have taught us time and time again that we must have feelings and give up selflessly. Money cannot buy back time, it cannot buy back yesterday, and it cannot retain the first love that has left us. Money is the bastard. Eggs are enough for three meals a day, so there is no need to waste all your energy on them.
However, we have been slapped in the face by reality countless times, telling us that it is difficult to move even if our pockets are empty.
If you have money, you can solve 99% of your worries, but if you can't satisfy the remaining 1%, it's because you don't have enough money.
If Wang Busheng is a poor man and cannot survive on food and clothing, then his imprisonment is just a literal imprisonment. There was no daylight, they suffered from hunger, and they had to be constantly prepared for abuse by the government officials.
But it's another matter if Wang Busheng is rich. The prison cell is also comparable to the standard of a five-star hotel. It is said that it is prepared for those ministers. However, the ministers of the Ming Empire are all law-abiding Qingtian lords. They have always been I will not violate the law or violate disciplines, engage in corruption or bribery for private purposes, so this single room has never been used. Thanks to the rich man's favor, Wang Busheng was lucky enough to live in it.
Because Rich A suggested that being in prison would be boring and lonely, the prison boss borrowed a TV from the Criminal Department Yamen, which was playing a costume drama by the popular movie star Zhang Jingjun.
After picking his teeth, Fu Jia leaned lazily on the bed and said, "Wang Bu Shei, I've been eating too much meat recently, why don't I make a list for my next meal?"
A small pony was placed beside the bed. Wang Budie stared at the TV and casually replied, "Okay, Master, you can eat whatever you want."
"Well, I feel your filial piety as a teacher."
At this time, the cell leader came to the fence, knocked on the fence, and spoke in a flattering tone, just like a subordinate greeting his superior: "Hello, Emperor Master, may I excuse you."
"If you fart quickly, don't disturb the old man watching TV." They are neither relatives nor friends, and the job they do is not decent, so the wealthy party doesn't feel good about it either.
"Yes, yes, the little one will be released soon." He kept rubbing his hands, and the prison head was a little embarrassed. "Well, Imperial Master, you see you have been living here for a day and a half. It is only natural that you pay for food and money." It’s something, why don’t you pay for the meals for these two days first?”
Although according to the regulations of the court, the daily food expenses of prisoners in prison were borne by the court, but the finances of the Ming Dynasty had always been very tight, and less than 30% of the money received every year, and the family of the Minister of Punishment also needed to spend part of it, so the prison of the Ministry of Punishment received the most money. One percent. To give a simple example, a prisoner has two meals a day, one steamed bun per meal. Due to lack of money, a prisoner can only eat one steamed bun every five days. Therefore, prisoners have strict food standards. It is impossible to eat enough. If you want to eat enough, you need to pay for it yourself. This is also an important income for the prison guards of the Ministry of Punishment. If they are clever and lucky enough to meet prisoners with rich wealth, the income of the prison guards can be enough to equal their own salary for a year. Therefore, such prisoners are also everyone's favorite.
But if you meet a government official with a strong background, you will be unlucky, and being careful will not do any good. For example, someone like the rich person, who has no official position and no position, seems to have no wealth, and he does not dare to provoke him, so he needs to be offered as an ancestor.
Looking at the bill in his hand, the cell leader felt his heart palpitate. In just one and a half days, the imperial master ate three chickens, two pork knuckles, four fish and ten kilograms of green vegetables. According to a rough calculation, the price is already several hundred taels, which is enough to cover the food expenses of the Ministry of Punishment Prison for more than a month. If the money cannot be replaced, that is to say, in the next few months, the other prisoners will have to eat grass, well, it will still be dry grass.
It is very common for a few prisoners to die in the Penal Department Prison. It is abnormal for people not to die. But if dozens or hundreds of prisoners starve to death at one time, the nature of the situation has changed. A better solution is to use the food money. He paid for it out of his own pocket, almost cooking it for the prisoners.
Neither outcome was what he wanted, so the prison boss could only put his head in his belt and embark on the dangerous path of collecting debts.
"What, have you made a mistake? I have to pay for my meal. If you don't go out and inquire about me, I will eat everything when I go to the palace to eat, pat my butt and leave. Who dares to ask me for money?"
The tone was extremely arrogant. Of course, the wealthy party had the confidence, and what he said was true. There was no need to pay for a meal in the palace, and Zhu Xiluo would also pack the bags for the wealthy party.
"Uh, this, this, this, master, please don't make fun of me. I'm a timid kid. That's not what you said at the time." The cell leader's face was ugly. He reviewed English all night, and the next day you told me that he was taking the exam. Mathematics, my enthusiasm has cooled down and my heart has been frozen.
"I never joke, old man,"
"But, but, you have eaten all these meals,".
"Nonsense, although the old man is old, he is not stupid. If you don't eat something delicious, why don't you keep it and feed it to the dogs?" The rich man said confidently. It is a bit of a waste to eat big fish, meat and delicacies, but not eating it is even more wasteful. This will whet the dog's appetite.
Plop, the prison head knelt on the ground, without any emotion brewing, and without applying chili oil to his eyes. The tears fell down like broken jade beads. If the ground was not made of bluestone, they would probably be smashed. If there are a few pits, of course water will break through, and the prison guard will have a chance to set a Disney world record.
"Master, you don't play like this. The younger one has the elder and the younger one. The whole family is counting on me to survive. Your food expenses for this day and a half are only a few hundred taels. The younger one still owes it on credit in a restaurant. The younger one is on credit in a restaurant. I don’t have any money to pay back.”
In order to please Fu Jia, let him stay in peace of mind, and Mr. Liu Wenzheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, also gave instructions that as long as the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment is not demolished, the Imperial Master can do anything, so Fu Jia proposed the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment. After the food was a bit poor, the prison boss volunteered to order takeout for the wealthy party. It was comfortable to flatter him, but the master was about to lose money. The prison boss was unwilling to think about it. Otherwise, he would ask Mr. Liu to pay the bill. Well, it would probably be very difficult. hanging.
"What does it have to do with me? I didn't plan to pay for it. I thought it was your treat."
The rich have a very principled approach, that is, they will die without paying for it. Their own coffins are still a lot short of money. If you can, save as much as you can. If you can earn more, earn more. As an old man over a hundred years old, earn more. Money is not easy.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Master, please," he said with a lot of tears and snot in his nose. The cell leader cried so sadly that he would not have shed so many heart-wrenching tears if he fell in love less than fifty times.
"It's so noisy." Wang Bushit, who had a displeased face, reluctantly turned his eyes away from his little sweetheart Zhang Jingjun, and looked at the prison head kneeling on the ground, "Okay, it's just a few hundred taels." It’s about the money, I paid for it.”
Although it has not yet reached the point where silver is just a bunch of numbers, a few hundred taels of silver is just a small matter. It is very likely that it is a big deal to others if it is insignificant. If you die, you will not be short of this little silver.
"Really," he looked at Wang Busheng in disbelief. The ancients said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. How can there be good people around bad guys? The suspicion of the prison boss was written on his face.
"Why did I lie to you?"
"Can you give me some money first?"
"Well, I'm not in jail, why do I have money on me?"
The cell leader wanted to cry again, "Brother, we don't want to play like this."
"Okay, a man sheds tears when he bleeds, sweats," What a painful realization, crying so sadly, it must be hurt, Wang Bushu decided to pull the poor man who fell under the cliff, and looked at Fu Jia One person said, "Master, please lend me some money."
The rich man hurriedly covered his pocket, like a hen guarding her young, "I have no money."
"Master, how could you have no money?" He probably felt insecure due to his old age. Wang Bushit knew that the savings of the wealthy party were all carried with him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely return the money to you."
"I have no money"
"Master, think about it, if we don't pay for the meal, I believe that the next meal will only have two wowotou. If you are willing to eat the wowotou, the apprentice will not care." No matter how hard you work, you may not be rewarded for your hard work, but Wang Busheng knew that if he didn't take out the money, his hard days would not be far away.
"Master's teeth are not good and he can't chew the doughnuts."
"Then pay for it"
"Okay, I'll pay for the money, but I lent it to you as a teacher. You have to pay me back and pay interest." Finally, the wealthy party compromised.
"For the sake of your coffin, master, the apprentice agreed." The king has no choice but to die,
A thousand taels of silver notes came into the hands of the prison boss. The prison boss felt that he had found his first love, and since his first love had a baby in his belly, he could save energy.
"Thank you, gentlemen. Don't worry, the food will be delivered to you shortly."
After a while, the table was filled again, probably to take care of the rich man's spleen and stomach. This time there were more green vegetables. Of course, due to technical problems, it was difficult to preserve green vegetables, so the price of a few plates of green vegetables was higher than that of meat. Food is even more expensive.
However, rich people only eat fresh food, and if the price of green vegetables is cheap, they will not be served on the table.
"Master, how much do you know about the Minister of Punishment?" Wang Bushit asked cautiously as the prison chief walked away.
Your case may or may not be big or small. Of course, there is still a lot of room for maneuver. The size of the case largely depends on the person hearing the case. Wang Budie has been thinking about it for a long time in the past two days. Even in the modern era where all kinds of information are networked, unjust, false and wrong cases are inevitable. Therefore, Wang Budie does not have any confidence in the fair law enforcement of the feudal dynasty. He originally thought that he would win glory for the country and save the United States as a hero. After defeating the Japanese pirates, I would not say that I am a national hero, but verbal praise is still not excessive. However, I did not imagine that I was locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Justice for more than a day, and no one cared about me. There are some problems here. If Going through the legal process was nothing more than beating someone up and paying for it, but no one came to negotiate with him about the matter. There was no news where the money was more, and Wang Busui's heart became increasingly unsettled. He always felt that something big was about to happen. The person who saved him didn't know when he would come, so Wang Busheng planned to save himself, for example, by paying money to bribe the person who was trying the case.
"Liu Wenzheng, my teacher knows this guy. He is a complete pervert. He will eat everything without losing any money, and he will be shameless if he wants everything."
"Well, it turns out that we are all the same people." Wang Budie said clearly, "Master, do you think the apprentice can use money to get himself acquitted?"
